Thanks to Carrie Wiscombe via DWTS360 for this interesting news. Check out how Allison Baver is following the Dancing With The Stars twitter account and Artem Chigvinstev. Could this be his new partner?
Hi, I'm a news hounds from way back. Since 1999, I've worked on Madonna and Enrique Iglesias fan sites....and now PureDWTS. I have always been a big music and dancing fan, but, I'm also passionate about photography, nature, animals, and spending as much time as possible travelling and camping with my hubby and our loving and patriotic doggie, Cash. To read more on me and view my photos (including some dancers from DWTS), see Lisa Kay Photography. You can also follow me at: Voguerista Twitter & Voguerista Soundcloud.
Jodie Sweetin has been rumored to dance on Dancing With The Stars for several seasons in the past (season 12,...
WHA?? Not sure what's up, but, tonight, George Pennacchio tweeted that the first celebrity reveal for Dancing With The Stars...
Now Peta is just doing the "Nae Nae"....
I actually know who she is and honestly If she is on the show she better be fun to watch becuase from what I’ve seen so far she is very audrina-like.
Got week 2 cannon fodder written all over her if she’s doing the show.
Yeeeaaah unless she is a great dancer I can’t see her lasting all that much. She doesn’t even have 10K followers on Twitter so that leads me to believe she isn’t all that popular. But who knows… If she’s paired with Artem then, well, good luck to him. Hope he can work well with her.
That was.. weird. I wrote that last comment (#3) and it says “Vin” instead of “CC NY”.
o_o
She’s now following puredwts 🙂
She’s got 2k followers on instagram and 10k on facebook. Artem has well over 100k on all three. You could kind of argue that Artem is a bigger celebrity than her. I’m knocking her achievements but her only notable star credibility is a bronze medal back in 2010 which she only won due to the actual bronze medalists getting DQ’d.
My point being this just seems like a really weird get. Surely they could get a more relevant and popular olympian? Not meaning any disrespect to her but she’s strikes me as more of a Lolo Jones than a Meryl Davis.
Sorry I meant to say above *not knocking her achievements
One things for sure if she’s been asked to keep things quiet then she’s not listening based on who she’s following on twitter LOL!
That’s really weird it changed to my name…..probably a glitch or something.
Just saw that she also tweeted about this particular blog post…so it’s probably true, she has been casted for this season lol
Who knows, maybe she’s a good dancer-she’s an athlete after all, so definitely not the worst partner Artem could get.
Damn. Thanks for mentioning that CC NY – we had hoped that John had fixed that. Apparently not. I’ll let him know.
I have never heard of her before, but I tend to like Olympians!
Look at her followers…haha!! Hell…seems like Artem is a bigger ”star” than her. Whatever …maybe this will stop the Artem fans from yelling that he needs a ”young, fit partner”… i hope she’s partnered with Artem. But i don’t see her lasting long, as @Vin said, she’s very much Audrina like.
Personally her lack of Twitter followers makes me like her, and her being an Olympic athlete gives her more credibility with me than any of the lame reality nobodys, the famous for being famous, or the kids of celebrities that so many mindless sheeple fawn over today. This woman has actually worked hard to do something with her life.
Of course, now that DWTS has gone social media mad, not having a bunch of groupies puts her at risk of an early exit. If she’s on, I hope they do pair her with Artem. While he’s not a favorite of mine, he seems to be building cred with the US audience. He might be able to buy her a few more weeks (unless she’s another LoLo–in which case she shouldn’t hang around).
I like her too and I love how she posted this link on her page.
I agree that Olympians have such a great work ethic and it is fun to get to know new people through the show.
Yeah, if you want to post here, you have to not be so uppity and bitchy. Only those of us who work here and have to deal with the likes of you get to be like that. Your posts won’t show up until you figure that out, Allison fan.
Jeez – let’s not have her on the show. We don’t need no more crazy fanbases.
I only know her name because I think she was Apolo’s girlfriend for quite a while back in his skating prime years.
Olympians are always good but she is so unknown she’ll have to have a sparkling personality I think to win over some votes. I’m hoping Artem gets a contender this season. I think he’s earned it after doing a great job with the limitations Patti had and making such fun, memorable routines last season. So I hope she’s quite likable and has some natural ability if he’s her partner.
After checking her twitter again I’m less convinced that she’s on the show. She’s almost been too loud, like she wants to be on but hasn’t been asked. Also I can’t imagine Artem would have been allowed to favourite one of her tweets by TPTB if they actually were partners but not been announced and he hardly uses social media compared to other pros. He’s probably just flattered by her interest. I could be wrong though but I stand by what I said earlier, that she’s not a big get and just low hanging fruit for early elims.
